What app? I like doing the challenges on there.CurvyCalorie wrote: »
Would anyone like to join me on an Apple Watch fitness app? I’m not sure how to add each other, but we can figure it out.
Cheers!
Keri
If you go under the apple fitness app (the one with the 3 rings) at the bottom there is an “S” and it says sharing click that.. at the top of the screen you will see a little person with a plus sign then you can search and add by phone number or email!! I do have an Apple Watch if anyone wants to add me you can search my email it is below... maybe if I get some friends on there I’ll be more about closing all my rings hahaha

wow was I behind. had a rough couple days this week, feeling down, and definitely some snowball effect from 1 not great meal leading to many not great meals, leaving the kitchen a mess, and letting the personal hygiene go, too. How seasonally appropriate. should have come back to this thread sooner, as there is a heap of motivation!
The last 2 days I kicked myself out of it. Did some great workouts. Got some running in. was a whirlwind of productivity at work. I have a friend who recently moved out of his parents place to live on his own and has never really shopped and cooked his own meals, so we are doing occasional virtual cooking lessons. Tonight is an egg skillet pie and home fries demonstration, which I will have for dinner today and Monday through Wed. I actually have so much planned to do today, chatting with my sister while we clean our apartments, the cooking, a catchup with a friend after dinner virtually. Hopefully means I will stay on track with eating since I'll be busy. I have 2 friends who are coming over to watch the super bowl and we will have a fun menu of snacks and dinner. So, Tuesday might not be the friendliest weigh-in but that's ok. I feel good about the rest of February. (Including a week vacation from work Feb 15-19. I need it!!!)
@conleywoods love the dress!! and the hair, real or not!
way to go for people in the green to start Feb!
@micki48 steps so far this week, count me in!

I've also decided, for now, that I am going to keep giving myself a monthly running goal, and up it by 1 mile a month until I get tired of running again. So, 22 miles in February. I've got 5 done already!5 -

Happy Saturday!
What a lot of green on the spreadsheet this week! Beautiful. And when it isn't green (temporarily!) there are great strategies and energy to kick right out of it, as @Kali225 so aptly puts it
Today will be Operation Clear the Road! Our private road has not been cleared yet this winter, so the taller half has to get the tractor in gear and make it possible for us to drive up the hill. I won't be walking up on Wednesday, after surgery I am sure! I'm always a bit sad when we open the road, though. I love having no car up here all winter. The walk is gorgeous, hauling the toboggan with groceries is great exercise (for the muscles, the heart, and the worst vocabulary I know in 4 languages), and it is virtuous of us not to burn the gas it takes to get the old (OLD) tractor going to run the big snowblower. But this time we have no choice, and it will be quite the project. Let's hope the tractor starts...
The best thing about having to self-isolate for the 2 weeks before this surgery is that most of my cravings have gone unsatisfied. I can't go to the store except to pick up out in the parking lot, and somehow it is easier not to order the things I am craving than it is when I actually walk past it in the store. Good behaviour enforced! I'm a bit stressed and nervous, but ice cream and baked goods are NOT going to help, right?5 -

Tiny, but I’ll take it. At least it’s green.
This week, I need to be better about logging my food. I mostly logged last week, but it was a little sloppy. I wonder what one really great week of accurately logging would do for the scale? I also need to get more cardio minutes. It does wonders for burning calories.
A walk awaits me today but first a zoom call with my bestie. Wish we could hike and talk. We both got our first vaccines yesterday, so we are a little closer to getting to see each other. 😃
@Kali225 Your week sounds crazy. Glad you popped in and found your motivation. Looks like you have it under control now. I love the cooking with friends class. What a great idea and nice thing to do. 22 miles—You’ve got that! No problem.
@jugar Sending virtual hugs as you rearrange for your surgery. Wish I could’ve nearby to offer a meal or help some way. You will do great!❤️
Make it a great one friends!2 -

I think the pw may be different than my starting weight bc I posted in the new member discussion on a weekday but can’t remember when so this is my weight from last Saturday.
It is good to see you! I was worried you had not been able to find our team chat. Please introduce yourself and tell us about you and your weight-loss journey!0 -

I managed to puppy sit while bringing a huge batch of returnable cans/bottles back for the deposits. It amounted to $4.60. Sheesh. Almost not worth the harangue.
I didn’t get much exercise but plan to walk tomorrow. My food choices have been pretty good, even with this being my “whatever” day, so with that, I’m off to bed. Happy week 2 (almost)!4 -
Let's close this week! Only 2 more weigh-ins due for today:

Thanks for the energy and “kick” @jugar and @kali225!
@conleywoods great dress and I love the hair!
My weekend has been pretty slow so far. I forgot all about the Super Bowl... I’m wanting to get in a hike this morning in the quiet. So I am off to get started!4 -
Week one of Habit Tracking worked for me!
Hope this motivation from colouring in squares continues! My food choices have slipped again on the weekend and I'm going to give into the family's requests for chicken wings and buffalo mac 'n cheese for Superbowl but I'm logging everything even when it puts me over the calorie limit. I'll do my best to be mindful of my portion sizes today and drink tons of water to start flushing the salt out before my Wednesday Weigh-In.
@conleywoods you look amazing! love the ruffles
@jugar did you get the tractor started?!?!?
3 -
Yes! Started like a champ and the road is now clear. We'll drive up today and see how it goes. Our hill is quite steep (my sister's ex called it the hill of deathPlaneMonkey wrote: »@jugar did you get the tractor started?!?!?
) but it is getting nice and cold now, so that makes the packed snow over the gravel nice and grippy. It's all looking good. 2 -
@conleywoods I love the dress. It has the perfect amount of ruffles. And those shoes 🥰
@micki48 I love the image of you and your granddaughter dancing around in tutus. I love the dress up phase.
@planemonkey I like that full month visual. I have a planner for tracker for the week but I think I like the visual for the month.
We had two birthday celebrations this weekend. My dad on Friday and my 11 year old yesterday. I had a small peice of cake Fri, a breakfast burrito yesterday, and sesame chicken last night. I skipped the cake last night. Today, I am going to lunch outside with a friend I haven't seen in over a year. My son has birthday on Wed and my mom on Friday. I just plan on small portions and no cheats in between the celebrations.2 -

Sunday weigh-in
PW - 185.2
CW - 186
Sorry team! I'm working out with Heather Robertson this month and most of her workouts are strength-based. So I am lifting heavier, I'm stronger, and more toned and even though I am weighing in a little higher than I would have liked - I'm a lot happier! But I hope the weight evens out and I can continue with a downward trajectory in the coming weeks.
Personally I have felt the past week has been really good. I've logged all of my food and kept to my workout schedule. I've even gone out walking twice this week - a major check in the box for me as I was at risk of turning into a hermit.
I've checked into this community at least once a day - although I haven't posted. Two reasons for that; Firstly I don't really have much to say and would rather say nothing than just add unnecessary chit chat. And, secondly, I am often overwhelmed by long posts and there's a good chance that I won't read it, being constantly time poor. Even more reason not to add a long post!
That said, I shall be back later with my step and exercise log for the past week.
Happy Sunday, Friends!4
